Student Teaching - A track

This week was the first day of school (again). I started A track with my on-track Master Teacher. It was neat to see the first day of school, and all of the getting-to-know-you activities the kids did. Also, my Master Teacher was amazing; she knew all of the students' names by lunch time. I am about 95% there. Tomorrow, I start the day off by playing a place-value game to start off the math lesson. My Master Teacher loves to teach math. I hope some of her enthusiasm will rub off onto me. Besides student teaching, this was the first week of Fall classes. It's been really hectic so far, because we go to 3 different school sites. There is a ton of reading and homework already. I hope I can survive! What intimidates me the most is the lesson planning. I feel like my brain is empty when it should be brimming with innovative and creative ideas. My Master Teacher introduced me to two sites that will be helpful in lesson planning. I have posted them on this blog for anyone who is interested. Check "Power Points" and "Open Court Resources." Until next time!
